Jerome Gambit: Comfortable, Confident

 

Similar to the recent post "Jerome Gambit: However", I did a quick comparison of the two main Jerome Gambit moves after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+ Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5

6.Qh5+


6.d4

The Database has 11,842 games with 6.Qh5+, with White scoring 57%.

The Database has 2,832 games with 6.d4, with White scoring 54%.

Stockfish 15, at 42 ply, rated 6.Qh5+ as a little more than a pawn stronger than 6.d4.

The rule of thumb remains the same: play what you are comfortable with, and confident in.
